The royal family's devotion to high street brands is undeniable - take Meghan Markle's £26 Mango Blouse as the prime example, followed by Kate Middleton's denim wardrobe which contains everything from Zara to & Other Stories. So, when the Duchess of Sussex attended the Invictus Games wearing a bang-on trend bouclé style jacket, fans were quick to question where it was from, and whether or not it was from the high street.
While Markle is no stranger to a high street wardrobe staple, her favourite off-duty, tweed bouclé jacket is in fact from Celine, with a retail price upwards of £4,000. If, however, this falls outside of your budget (it is also completely sold out), then you'll be pleased to hear that there's a high street alternative which looks seriously expensive, and that's the M&S Tweed Bouclé Jacket, £75.
M&S' version is eerily similar to Markle's Celine jacket, made with bouclé material and gold button detailing just like the original. It's available in black and ivory, features a round neckline (which looks incredibly chic) and features four real (!) pockets which is great if you like having easy access to the essentials.
Another brilliant thing about this jacket is how versatile it is. It immediately elevated my otherwise extremely casual denim-cardigan-trainers combo, and for more formal occasions you can pair the jacket with your favourite blouse, wide leg trousers and the M&S buckle flats that look exactly like Ganni's.
